short int limit on location property

I am creating a filmstrip much like in powerpoint but am running into a
problem when setting the location for images inside the panel that holds the
filmstrip.

I am not able to go past the limit of 32767, the upper limit for a short int
when setting the location for the individual images. This seems to be the
ultimate size that a panel can be made. I will occasionally need to be able
to have filmstrips that require more space due to their length.

I am looking for suggestions on how I might be able to get around this limit
from anyone that may have run into this problem before.

Don't use controls but render the images only inside the panel.

That could be a real nuisance since you cannot even use a second panel positioned X=32768:

Off the top, I would go for stacked hidden panels : monitor the movement of each panel and show-hide
accordingly.
